In early August, the plague was finally brought under control.

After a series of work, a series of sorting and handover was carried out.

By the time Xiao Nianzhi and the others packed up and were ready to return to the capital, it was already late August.

Originally, this season was the day of the small autumn harvest in many places.

However, almost all of them are out of production in the Linzhou area.

The people didn't even have their lives, let alone their land.

Whether it will return to normal next year is not easy to say.

This time, the situation was even worse than expected.

The follow-up series of work still needs to wait until Xiao Nianzhi and them return to the capital, report, and then make arrangements on His Majesty's side.

After coming to Linzhou for nearly two months, various matters have temporarily come to an end.

When Xiao Nianzhi packed up her things and was about to leave, Xu Miaoniang was still a little reluctant.

However, she is not good to follow now.

Even if Guo Fu is anxious, he also needs to take into account the death of the old lady Fengda.

Therefore, the wedding date will have to wait until after June next year.

Even if Xu Miaoniang is preparing to get married, she doesn't need to go to the capital now.

The sadness of parting, coupled with the current situation in Linzhou.

Xu Miaoniang blistered her mouth because of the fire.

In the past few days, for the sake of face, in desperation, I hung up the veil.

Xu Miaoniang was embarrassed to say, but in the end, Xiao Nianzhi asked a few more words, and the maid explained in a whisper.

This made Xiao Nianzhi a little helpless, but she didn't have much to do about this thing, so she could only let it recover slowly.

Fortunately, it won't delay anything, it's just ugly for a few days, and it's just uncomfortable for a few days.

On the last day of August, Xiao Nianweaving and the others packed up and returned to Beijing.

It's early autumn now, and the air is a little cooler in the morning and evening.

In these places in Linzhou, it is not obvious.

However, the further north you go, the more pronounced the temperature difference between morning and evening becomes.

However, it is only compared to the summer.

In fact, the morning and evening are not particularly cool, and a slight breeze dispels the summer heat, giving people a rather comfortable feeling.

Nearly two months of busyness have made everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

When I said goodbye, I was a little reluctant.

However, what should come will always come, and there are some things that need to be faced sooner or later.

Lin Zhou's affairs will continue after Xiao Nianzhi and them leave.

This includes work such as subsequent reconstruction.

These do not need to be assisted by Lou Daren.

Moreover, even if it is an assistant, it must be a different group of people.

Xu Zhifu led people to say a simple goodbye, Xu Miaoniang followed at the back of the team, watched people leave, and quietly wiped her tears.

Xu Miaoniang thought, let's say goodbye and meet again, it is estimated that it will be a year later.

Capital......

In the past, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, but her embarrassing identity destined her heart to mature earlier than others.

Moreover, she is not ready to marry near Linzhou, also because, with her, her mother will inevitably become someone else's talking point.

Even if her father recognized her, many people still know the inside story about this matter.

Some powerful wives don't have very forgiving mouths.

Therefore, what Xu Miaoniang thinks is that if she marries farther, it is better to marry better.

How the husband loves himself is not so important.

As long as she has status, status, it is enough.

She thought that it would be best to marry someone who no one else could talk about.

Is this a reality now?

Xu Miaoniang doesn't know, but she always feels that she seems to be one step closer to her ideal life?

There is no hurry to return to Beijing, but you can't wander around on the road, after all, you still need to go back to Beijing and give your majesty a life.

very

There are many things, only relying on the exchange of letters, there is no way to let His Majesty and the capital know the whole picture of the disaster in Linzhou, and it is still necessary for Lord Lou to talk about it in person.

So, they can sit in a carriage, but they can't swing around.

Ten days later, the group returned to the capital.

When I came back after a two-month absence, the air was already a little cool.

Here in the capital, some crops have already begun to be harvested, and the joy of autumn harvest is everywhere.

Looking at the familiar, still prosperous scenery, Xiao Nianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's as if I finally walked out of the boundless purgatory and saw the beautiful and warm scenery of the world.

The situation in Linzhou is ......

It's really miserable.

Especially the nearly one-month period when the plague broke out.

Although Xiao Nianzhi didn't see it with his own eyes, he listened every day, how many deaths were reported, and how many things needed to be burned.

Those cold words are actually lives and pasts.

After listening to it for a long time, people will subconsciously become numb.

Looking at the prosperity of the capital now, it will give people a feeling of returning to the world in a different world.

Xiao Nianzhi lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road for a long, long time.

It was only when a gust of wind rose and fell on her face, bringing a little cold feeling, that she let go of her hand.

On the first day back in the capital, it rained.

As soon as it rained, Xiao Nianzhi's heart chuckled.

Linzhou ......

Won't it go down again, will it?

An autumn rain and a cold.

At this time, it rained, and the places have not settled well, so how will the people live after that?

Even if Linzhou is much warmer than the capital......

However, autumn is autumn.

Pressing his somewhat swollen head, Xiao Nianzhi forced himself not to think about it so much.

She is not a god, nor an immortal, she can't save the suffering of the world, she can only do her best.

After coming back, there was no time to rest, and Yiying Qincha, who went to Linzhou, changed into official clothes and entered the palace to resume his life.

As soon as the matter should be, the excerpt has been written on the road, and now you need to take it with you when you enter the palace.

Your Majesty needs to see the excerpts, and you also need Lord Lou, the lord, to reply carefully.

In the process, you may also ask random questions about these officials who are accompanying you.

Xiao Nianzhi was ready.

As a result, His Majesty's face sank after seeing the folds.

Probably the situation in Linzhou is even worse than what was said in the previous emergency report.

Therefore, His Majesty's complexion is not too good-looking.

Lord Lou himself reported for nearly an hour.

In the end, the old man's voice was hoarse, and after His Majesty gave him tea, he continued.

Xiao Nianzhi: ......

I'm afraid I'll be named next.

But the next one was not her, but the others who followed Lord Lou.

Not a single one escaped, His Majesty randomly named and asked random questions.

Is it done with care, and has it been carefully recorded in Linzhou.

Your Majesty knows a little bit of name.

But whoever touches the fish in the middle of this, at this time, they have to be scared, right?

Moreover, not only Xiao Nianzhi and them, but also Yan Xingxuan's uncle and nephew did not escape.

His Majesty's inquiries about these two people, especially Yan Nanrong's, were even more.

Xiao Nianzhi was far away, and he could feel Yan Nanrong's nervousness.

However, he did not touch the fish, and His Majesty could answer whatever he asked.

Some of the questions are about future plans and the like, although many ideas may still be immature.

But, at least, he is serious about thinking and doing things seriously.
